Grab a coffee and get those neurons firing — today we've got a "What Connects These?" puzzle. Each numbered set contains four items that share a hidden link. Figure out the common thread for each group!
Iceberg, Butter, Romaine, Boston
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
Queen, Genesis, Journey, Chicago
Monopoly, Sorry!, Clue, Life
Big Ben, Old Faithful, Niagara Falls, Mount Rushmore
Bonus challenge: Can you find a word that links ALL FIVE categories together in some way? (Hint: think about what each category, as a whole, "is.")
Answers
Types of lettuce.
Planets of the solar system (in order from the sun).
Classic rock bands named after something other than a person's name (a title, a book of the Bible, a city, etc.) — or more simply, iconic rock bands from the 1970s.
Classic American board games.
Famous landmarks/tourist attractions (in the UK and USA).
Bonus: Each category is a list of "famous/iconic examples" of a broader class of thing — lettuces, planets, bands, games, and landmarks. The connecting theme is simply "well-known members of a category." (If you found a cleverer link, bonus points to you — brain teasers are allowed multiple valid answers!)
